Renji listened to the flight attendant’s announcement, looking out the window beside him. Eileen had already been peering out, her face filled with immense excitement, gazing down at the mechanized city below, which was entirely different from both the Holy Kingdom and the Dragon Nation.
Observing the towering skyscrapers rising from the ground, with aerial tracks weaving between them and trains speeding along, it really looked like a steel jungle.
Renji had woken up an hour ago. Unlike airplane travel on Blue Star(Earth), which also took more than twenty hours, staying on this aircraft felt no different from a night in a hotel. Even more so, after Keyji shared his V10 super membership, it was even better than a five-star hotel.
Of course, few were as relaxed as Renji and Eileen, probably only Keyji and his group.
Most scholars and doctors on the aircraft did not feel relaxed about arriving in Dream City. On the contrary, under Renji’s observation, many appeared in a state of readiness, with several even having dark circles under their eyes, probably having not slept during the twenty-plus hour flight.
If Renji were to describe it, it was like when he was a child participating in the national math Olympiad team, going to international competitions. It was the kind of nervousness felt right before entering the examination room, fearing poor performance that might embarrass the country.
Fifteen minutes passed quickly, and soon the aircraft wove between buildings before finally hovering above a spacious, clearly demarcated plaza. Looking down from the aircraft, Renji saw the “wing-shaped” logo in the center of the plaza. Having crammed a lot of related information during the flight, Renji knew that whenever this wing logo appeared, it signified ownership by Kael Technology.
The steel disc slowly descended, and after a final burst of white vapor, the voice announcement indicated a complete landing, and the aircraft’s doors opened.
Under the guidance of Caroline, the team leader, the group of scholars and professors from the advisory group disembarked in turn. Their luggage and other carry-on items were taken care of by staff and did not require their attention.
As soon as he disembarked from the aircraft, Keyji looked around. When he saw Renji and Eileen, who, like him, seemed well-rested and energetic – obviously having had a good sleep on the aircraft – he was certain that Renji must have also “used backdoor connections” to get here.
After all, the real experts were all nervous, eager to seize every moment to continue their research on the flight, discussing what breakthroughs in ancient studies Kael Technology might present.
Only “slackers” like them could lie down so comfortably without a care in the world, naturally resulting in a good night’s sleep and high spirits! 𝘳.𝑐𝘰
Thinking of this, Keyji immediately ran over to Renji, not liking to be alone. Although Renji mentioned he would be meeting old friends, they could still keep each other company during the event.
“Bro! Haven’t seen you overnight, your complexion looks great, I’m relieved. How about it, was my V10 useful?”
“Indeed, it’s something.”
Renji affirmed and highly praised Keyji.
“Haha, glad you enjoyed it. If you like it, I might just give you one someday.”
Keyji waved his hand generously, but he quickly felt that, as soon as he said this, not only Renji but also Renji’s female assistant looked at him with even more fervent eyes.
This made Keyji curse himself inwardly. Although 800,000 ashen coins were just a gift for him, it was a show of wealth in the eyes of ordinary people, and Keyji hated showing off wealth the most! Especially in front of a friend’s girlfriend – that was not appropriate at all.
Renji also noticed Eileen’s “fiery” gaze and fully understood the girl’s -“let’s just rob this guy right now”-intention, so he nudged her with his elbow to calm her down a bit.
“Cough cough, well… Hey! Brother Renji, it seems like Kael Technology really values us, huh? Wow, look at this security!” After coughing twice, Keyji quickly changed the subject. When he looked around the plaza again, he showed a surprised expression.
Regarding this, Renji had already noticed. There were fifteen people in each small team, with one team on each side, firmly protecting them in the center. They were all fully armed, gun-
toting guards. The circuit patterns visible on their foreheads indicated that their bodies were likely heavily cybernetized, probably capable of detecting and capturing even a mosquito entering their vicinity with their cybernetic eyes.
Keyji: “No wonder it’s Kael Technology, this security is really impressive. But what’s with this group of journalists? Do they really need to make such a big fuss over us?”
Following Keyji’s complaint, Renji also turned his gaze towards the other group present.
Unlike the well-trained security team, this restless and agitated crowd seemed to boil over as soon as they saw their advisory group disembark from the aircraft.
Those carrying various sizes of recording equipment immediately turned on their lights and pointed their cameras at the group of over fifty ancient studies scholars from Sin City. .𝒎
And the men and women, wearing badges of “XX Newspaper,” “XXX Radio Station,” were frantically trying to push towards them.
However, due to the security personnel’s intervention, they could only get within five or six meters of them. They stretched their microphones towards them desperately, while shouting various questions they wanted to ask.
“There are rumors that this year’s scholars from Sin City are the most outstanding in recent years. What’s your opinion on this?”
“How do you view the fact that Sin City has not released any new research findings for seven consecutive years?”
“Regarding the turmoil in Dragon Nation, is it really related to the statement made by Lady Lena in the Upper House: ‘It doesn’t matter, I will intervene’?”
“There’s a popular rumor that Kael Technology is secretly conducting some illegal experiments internally. Will this become your excuse to deny the academic exchange meeting later?”
“What’s your view on the current significant collapse of Kael Technology’s stock market? Is there any retaliatory action by Lady Lena behind this?”
“Does Lady Lena, who is over 500 years old, actually have a boyfriend?!!”
